News and gossip from the Guru
Life is filled with mystery. Eternal questions that never go out of
style. How did we get here? Where are we going? Why does the ATM always
eat my card? Maybe we need to nominate a new mystery ... What the heck
is bandwidth? While most folks know they need "it" to keep their site
up and running, the details are sketchy. Simply put, bandwidth is the
amount of data that is used to transfer your Web pages (all the crafty
HTML, graphics, sound files, etc.) from the host server to the person
visiting your site. If you have a 1 MB page, and the page is viewed
100 times in one hour, the bandwidth usage would be 100 MB. Easy enough.
But there's more to the math. Like all homepage services, Tripod limits
bandwidth. (Besides the truckloads of sesame bagels, bandwidth is the
single biggest expense associated with the hosting biz.) The good news
is that YOU get to set the limit. Tripod Plus offers FIVE times as much
bandwidth as our free service AND the freedom to add more. That way,
your site can stay open 24-7. Just like the bagel shop of our dreams.
Ready for bountiful bandwidth? Step up to Tripod Plus!

| MEMBER SITE OF THE WEEK |
SITE: Out of the Garden
MEMBER: mousedancing
It's no secret that music fansites are often better than the artist's official record company site. Francesca's site, dedicated to Darren Hayes and Savage Garden, is a great example. In fact, it was recently named "fansite of the week" by MTV.com! Using Tripod's Free Form editor, she's created a comprehensive site that includes tour info, pics and lyrics, a news archive, message boards, and lots more. Highly recommended!

You've built your site. It's looking real good. But your Web address
is a mile long and stocked with slashes, dashes, and mystery symbols.
It doesn't have to be that way. You could register a domain name and
pick your own personalized URL. Something nice and short. Easy to
remember. But hurry, names are going fast. Register yours today!

Q: Why was my site temporarily suspended if the bandwidth meter on
the My Account page says I'm under the monthly limit?
It is possible for your site to down for a short period of time and
still appear to be under the monthly bandwidth limit. That's because
we take the monthly bandwidth amount and divide it into daily and
hourly allotments. By regularly checking each amount, we can reduce
the time your site may be down. For a better snapshot of your
bandwidth usage, click "bandwidth detail" on the My Account page.
